Two seater sofa: detailed buying guide

What we need to curl up on when reaching home at the end of a long day? A perfect snuggly sofa. Isn’t it? Sofas are big and spacious enough to lay over in any desired posture. On the other hand, they are the heroes of the living room regardless of the room’s size. For a cramped space, however, having a two seater sofa instead of a three seater one is more suitable. This will make the room available to introduce other knick-knacks in open spaces.

With a myriad of options available in the market today, for example, sectionals, sleeper sofas, etc., one cannot choose the sofa with a closed eye. Going for a two seater sofa should not be based solely on how it looks because looks can cheat. There are certain factors which include sofa sizes, patterns, styles, fabrics, and colours to think upon. And once the sofa comes home, accessorising and caring starts from day one.

What makes you go for a two seater sofa?
A 2 seater sofa, unlike the larger three seater one, gets two cushions and is one of the most popular types of living room furniture as it doesn’t take much space. Other stuff apart from the furniture can be easily decorated with the extra space. One of the other advantages of buying a two seater sofa is the cushions can be flipped over, thereby, making the sofa look new for a longer period. One can find a variety of fabrics available in two seater sofas, and they usually measure between 152.40cm and 182.88cm, easy and comfortable for two people.

Choosing two seater sofa fabric
When it comes to buying a two seater sofa online or offline, there aren’t really many options rather say two options, leather or fabric. Either of the two has their own pros and cons. A fabric two seater sofa doesn’t get scratched and is easy on the pocketbooks whereas a leatherette two seater sofa maintains the looks and would benefit the living room for a long run. If you choose traditional upholstery, you can select the piece from a variety of colours and designs. Micro-fibre, on the other hand, is a durable fabric made from tightly-packed filaments. This fabric is very much durable and soft and has become popular owing to same traits. The choice should be as per your living room’s decors and the budget.

Cleaning process to follow
Timely cleanliness of the sofa is required to maintain the good looks and cushy upholstery of the furniture. Clean the sofa even if you don’t find the dust particles on it. If the dust mites begin to proliferate, cleaning will become a necessity rather than an option. Here are the stepwise procedures to follow when cleaning fabric or a leather two seater sofa.

• Fabric Sofa

1. Clean the sofa after removing off the cushions so that proper cleaning can be done.
2. Vacuum the surface thoroughly. Any crumbs and dirt will be easily caught in the machine, and your sofa will give a fresh and clean appearance.
3. Use a foam cleaning spray on the most soiled parts of the furniture. With a clean, damp cloth, rub the sofa gently. Use a dry sponge after that.
4. The cleaner should be applied on the entire sofa and left to dry afterwards. Switch on the fan on full mode to start up the drying process.
5. Once the sofa gets fully dried, apply vacuum cleaning again to extract out an extra cleansing solution. 

• Leather sofa

1. For a leather sofa, use a moisturising soap to clean. Make sure you don’t wet the leather heavily.
2. After applying the soap, use a damp cloth to clean the surface. The dry towel should be used after the damp cloth and later use a leather conditioner to get back the shine.
3. If you don’t know the type of leather, get a universal leather cleaner.

Conclusion : When you choose a two seater sofa for the living, invest a substantial amount of time and money. The best fabric choice, the dimension of the sofa, colour, pattern etc., are some prominent aspects needed to be considered wisely. When the budget is in your favour, it is worthwhile to opt for a high-quality sofa. The cheque you are going to sign for a two seater sofa will give you an advantage for many years to come.
